Sometimes life is like an uphill climb and the more we climb
the more problems and stress we encounter. Just like any hill, the fitter we
are the easier the climb. If we are out of shape we will get tired more easily,
making the climb physically more challenging. It’s the same thing with life; therefore
we need to exercise. Exercise temperance, patience, understanding and love, and
not just towards others but towards ourselves. Start off by doing small simple exercises
then gradually work our way up. Soon we will notice the benefits. I believe tolerance
and a deeper understanding of “self” and others will lead to a happier
healthier life. We might develop the tendency to be more
understanding thus
slower to anger. Stretching leads to flexibility. Being flexible and compassionate
when dealing with others could eliminate over re-acting to things that won’t
matter a year down the road. The rewards can be countless and others around us
would definitely notice the transformation. We could also experience less sweating;
the small stuff. Exercise is essential to our well-being which can be very helpful
while jumping over the hurdles of life. Walking is easy and according to experts
it is one of the safest methods of exercise. So walk; walk in the other person’s
shoe, before we judge or penalize them too hastily find out the reasons behind
their actions. Last but not least breathe; breathe deeply before we lose our
cool. I am getting ready to walk so I am breathing deeply as I stretch. Looking
for a walking partner; somewhere off… -Marcia A. Tulloch.
I walk and breathe in Mother Earth and enjoy her beauty. I call it my power walk, not because of how long, short or how fast I walk but the connection I feel while I walk. The connection to God's wonderful works.
